WORKING FROM HOME? JUST ADD PLANTS!

Working from home (WFH) is a big adjustment! In the beginning, some of us settled for the kitchen table (hello, back pain!) or for a spare corner of the house, because hey – this is only temporary! But now that it’s looking like WFH is here to stay, it’s time to set yourself up for success! Take a look around your WFH space. How does it make you feel? Are you able to focus? Do you feel productive? Does it make you feel connected and happy? Do you even like it? If there’s room for improvement, all you need to do is add plants to it!

Plants don’t just look good, they make you feel good emotionally and physically, and perform better mentally!

By adding a few plants into your WFH space, you’ll enjoy many physical and psychological benefits that have been scientifically proven. A few of these benefits include:

INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY

Research has proven that placing plants in a windowless space increases reaction time to computer tasks by 12%! That’s a huge number! If you’re an employer and your team works in windowless spaces, just imagine increasing your overall company productivity by 12%! Those plants will pay off in no time at all.

POSITIVE VISUAL APPEARANCE

A space that is filled with vibrant greenery conveys a positive image to others. It makes you look healthier, happier, and even more likable! If you want to be the person who stands out on a video conference, add some nice green plants to your background and you’ll be much more pleasing to the eye than a person in a blank white space.

INCREASED CREATIVITY

One of the most interesting benefits of plants is that it increases creative thinking. Creativity is a crucial part of a business, but often creative ideas are hard to come by – especially when cooped up in an office all day.

REDUCED STRESS

Stress levels and blood pressure levels are significantly lower in people when plants are in their presence. Want to test this? Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and picture yourself surrounded by a green forest for a minute. It will quickly and dramatically calm you. Having a plant on the corner of your desk to look at now and then will have the same positive effect.

CLEANER AIR

Plants improve air quality by removing harmful toxins from the air. Breathing cleaner air means sleeping better. Sleeping better means working better!

A SENSE OF CONNECTION

Being around plants reminds us that we are connected to nature and that we’re part of a bigger picture. Since we cannot get that connection at the workplace, it’s important that we get it from plants!

To invest in plants is to invest in your success!
